That is the shootout. Don't think this year is going to happen unfortinatly. After all the set backs and going extremely over budget on this build I'm not sure if it will be together in time, this is how its sitting so i still need to tune it massively, and dial in the rear suspension.

Next year for sure will be competing, this year if possible i will trailer it out and see. What is the index for mod N/A and any restrictions? I'm sitting with a S60, twin plate clutch, stage 4 t56, 10pt cage, and this engine i'm building. and only weigh in at 3085lbs with my last engine (without me) so 3300 with me in it roughly. Any fuel limitations?

btw your car sounds good, which cam do you have in there?

Mod N/A is fairly open to whatever you want to do. There is no index. Run as fast as you can. It's heads up on a .400 pro-tree. The weight limit is 3075lbs WITH driver. Any race fuel you want to run, and aftermarket pcm. To be competitive you should be well into the 10's. Last years winner was running 10.29-10.40, but keep in mind it was 100 degrees out.

For this season its just going to stay at 125 and making sure i can get the power to the ground. Would you say gap for the 350 now or at the end of the season when i tear it down?

If you wanted tightening them up a bit, I would never go tighter than .0040 and .0045, top and second ring with NOS regardless of the ring material. Myself, I wouldn't deviate from the manufacturers recommendation.

Ripper 410

exactly he didn't ask for piston clearance he asked for ring gap and plasma molys can be run alittle tight

You won't need to alter the ring gap if you are only planning a sub 200 shot. Once you get addicted to the sauce and want to put the big boy jets in, then ring gap becomes critical.
